Watch the original, far superior.

I watched a modern classic today; Without a Paddle. So damn funny. Seth Green is such an underrated talent. He always brings such an intensity and undercurrent of darkness to his roles. Maybe it's his red hair, I dunno. Peerless.

Was that the recent one with Kenneth Brannagh? Decent alright, but the '70s version with Peter Ustinov is better.

yea, the Brannagh one.

Watched Watership Down with the kids last night. Jesus it's fair fuckin bleak I hadn't seen it since I was a young lad myself

Now watch The Plague Dogs. It makes WD seem like a jolly Disney film.

I haven't seen that is it animated and/or could I watch it with the kids?

Depends how much you hate your kids.

I wouldn't watch it with the kids, no. Very bleak. Same team that made Watership Down, and it's also based on a Richard Adams book. It's dark but excellent. There are two cuts of it by the way, make sure you get the right one.

Watched the latest in the Predator series "Prey". Easily the best film since the first one. Thankfully. A really well made action film and the scenery is stunning. The woman in the lead part is fantastic.

Truly awful flicks. The new one was really the first Predator sequel I've enjoyed since the first one. Some deadly kills in it.

There's the full length version at 1 hour 43 mins., and an edited version at about 86 mins. That's the one I have on DVD as I only found out that there were 2 versions after the fact. There's a blu ray with both versions apparently, but the one I've just seen on Amazon is just the full length cut, I might nab that myself on payday.

Just checked the dodgybox it's not on there yet but looking forward to this

This is also missing from the list on the box. A bad evening indeed.

Seems to be presented simply, like the first one. No need for back story or extra mythos. Looking forward to seeing it.
